Mr. Nesi goes to Alabama!

At the end of August I had the priviledge of being invited to Oxford City Schools, Alabama where I got to visit Oxford High School!

This opportunity was presented to me because I accepted an invitation from listener Adam Clark, who teaches social studies at OHS, to join a Voxer group with his colleagues to coach them in their pursuit of creating podcasts.

Make sure you connect with the following awesome educators from Oxford High School:

• Cade Somers, English
• Michelle Shelton, English
• Theresa Shadrix, Industrial Arts
• Krista Mintz, Math & Computer Science
• Holley Harmon, English
